Product Hunt
OpenHuman
90% of people who try AI agents give up. Three reasons: memory that resets every session, your data sitting in someone else's cloud and a terminal just to get started. Real blockers. OpenHuman fixes all of it. Local-first, privacy-first. It remembers everything about you and actually gets smarter the more you use it. Every feature lives in one simple interface. Fully open source. One-click setup. P.S. The product is in beta, so expect bugs, but we're building and shipping fast.
HasData
HasData is the managed web scraping service for data pipelines and AI agents. Send any URL, get clean JSON or Markdown back in one API call. We handle proxies, browser rendering, retries, and anti-bot. 50+ ready scrapers cover Google Search, Maps, News, Zillow, Indeed, and major e-commerce. AI extraction handles any other URL from a plain-text prompt. Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, or your own AI agent via MCP. CLI for everything else.
PHBench
PHBench: the first public benchmark predicting Series A funding from Product Hunt launch signals. We analyzed 67,292 featured launches over 7 years, linked to 528 verified Series A rounds via Crunchbase. Champion model: 4.7x lift over random. Team size × community engagement is the strongest signal; B2B (API, Payments, Fintech) converts at 3x baseline; Rank #1 raises at 2.2x unranked. Dataset, code, and baselines open. Submit at phbench.com and subscribe for weekly high-probability launches.

Agentic Website Builder 2.0 by Lokuma
Lokuma 2.0 is a design-aware agent harness for websites. Most AI builders can generate a first draft. But real sites need structure, taste, brand consistency, editing, publishing, forms, and ongoing updates. Lokuma connects planning, design, style, assets, site state, edits, and publishing into one agentic workflow — so your website feels designed, not just generated. Design, build, and run your site with agents.
Gradient Bang
Gradient Bang is a new kind of software: AI-native, built from the ground up to use LLMs everywhere.

You can even program your own subagents and run them in Vercel Sandboxes. Built with Pipecat, Daily WebRTC, Supabase, Vercel.
